Testing/submitting/improving/syncing needs some generous amount of
time. You can easily help the author (especially) when things don't

No kernel tree at hand to figure what "doesn't work" mean but:
ed .config<<EOD
/# CONFIG_EMBEDDED is not set
d
wq

make oldconfig

works like a charm here.

If something seems wrong with 'make menuconfig', feel free to submit
a detailled PR here or through bugzilla.kernel.org (as long as it
isn't a networking thing).
